PLANT-BASED RECIPES,CULINARY NUTRITION TIPS &PLANT-BASED LIVING

While I love the concept of a power or energy bar, the more I've discovered about the ingredients in the store bought versions, the less I've bought them. I never really found one I liked....either too sweet, too oily or there is some foreign ingredient that I look up, only to find it to be unhealthy and/or hard on the system. And this principle so applies to these bars - even though something is all natural, organic, high in protein and fiber, as per the trending labeling goes, it doesn't mean it's healthy or, I'll add, easy to digest.

Making your own energy bars with some whole and natural ingredients is easy. These are oil free and the sweetness comes from the brown rice syrup, peanut butter, vanilla and dried fruit. I've added some crushed cacao nibs which balances the sweetness nicely, and adds nutrients like magnesium, supporting brain, heart and digestive health. Extra bonus, cacao is known as a mood elevator! These are great for traveling or taking with you on a long, busy day out.
